variable width left column, left+right column tops line up

My problem with floated <div>s is that the left column will not always
be the same width. (The height doesn't concern me apart from wanting to
vertically center the graphic and list.) This wouldn't be a problem if
I knew the maximum width of the graphics, but since I don't, the left
column is only as wide as the picture it holds - not as wide as the
widest picture on the page.
>From what I've seen, floated <div>s would give the following output:
+---------------------------------------------+
| ============= : |
| ============= : - bullet |
| ===Graphic=== : - bullet |
| ============= : - long bullet |
| ============= : |
+---------------------------------------------+
____/ [notice 2nd <div> left column much narrower]
/ [height doesn't matter]
+--------------------------------------+
| ======= : - bullet |
| Graphic : - bullet |
| ======= : - long long bullet |
+--------------------------------------+
The question I posed to the list was asking if a CSS method exists that
would keep the left column the same width for all graphic/list pairs
without knowing the width (or height) of the graphic (and not using
tables, obviously). I don't know enough CSS to be able to say for
certain that this functionality doesn't exist, but from what I *do*
know, I don't think it does.
I hope that helps clarify what I was trying to say. :) If not, let me
know! Everything I say always makes sense to _me_. lol

You don't have to do a table... you could use floated divs. It's more
accessible and will probably work the same way.
